Sari is creating a dog run space in her backyard. She has 40 feet of fencing to go around the outside, and she wants to make it rectangular with a width of 8 feet. What will the length be, in feet?(1 point)
feet
Let the length be represented by "L".
Since the dog run is rectangular, its width is 8 feet.
The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.
In this case, the perimeter is 40 feet.
So, we can write the equation 40 = 2L + 2(8).
Simplifying, we have 40 = 2L + 16.
Subtracting 16 from both sides of the equation gives us 24 = 2L.
Dividing both sides by 2 gives us L = 12.
Therefore, the length will be 12 feet.
To find the length of the rectangular space, you need to subtract twice the width from the total length of the available fencing.
Step 1: Calculate twice the width
Twice the width = 2 * 8 feet
Twice the width = 16 feet
Step 2: Subtract twice the width from the total length of the available fencing
Length = Total fencing - twice the width
Length = 40 feet - 16 feet
Length = 24 feet
Therefore, the length of the rectangular space will be 24 feet.
To find the length of the dog run space, we can start by calculating the perimeter of the rectangular space.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding together all four sides. In this case, we know that the width is 8 feet and the total length of fencing available is 40 feet.
Since the width is given, we can calculate the length as follows:
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
40 = 2(Length + 8)
Now, let's solve for Length:
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
40/2 = Length + 8/2
20 = Length + 4
Finally, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to isolate Length:
20 - 4 = Length
Length = 16 feet
Therefore, the length of the dog run space will be 16 feet.
its 12
ah,,, :
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
40/2 = Length + 8/2
NO
40/2 = Length + 8
length = 20 - 8 = 12
